Dear President Lemierre,
I am writing to share with you Human Rights Watch’s perspective on how last month’s annual meeting in Tashkent affected the human rights environment in Uzbekistan, and to provide an update on recent human rights developments in the country. I would also like to offer thoughts on how the Bank can best maintain the momentum for reform throughout this crucial year for its engagement with Uzbekistan, and on the broader implications this process could hold for the Bank’s overall engagement in other countries where it operates.
